Here below you will find a large blibliography of phrasal
verb studies. You may consult the bibliography chronologically, alphabetically,
or by examining the dictionaries which have been published over the years.
I wouldn't dream of reading all these books, but the perception of phrasal
verbs has changed over time and a brief look at the most
intriguing titles can help us postulate the evolutionary direction
of phrasal verb theory.
Introduction - Selected titles for an evolutionary hypothesis
C - Dictionaries: a chronological survey
Selected titles for an evolutionary hypothesis |
My comments |
|
Walker, William (1655), A Treatise of English Particles, London (Reprinted Menston, The Scholar Press, 1970) |
Earliest study found. He knew "something was happening". |
|
Willis, C.A. (1927), "Prepositional verbs", The English Journal 16 |
Straightforward title. Too bad it doesn't tell the whole story. |
|
Kalepky, Th. (1929), "Präpositionsattraktionnen im Englischen", Zeitschrift für franz. u. engl. Unterricht 28, 173-9, 353-5 |
Yes! Verbs attract prepositions in English. |
|
Mechner, M. (1956), Some Problems of Collocations of Verb and Particle in the Teaching of English as a Foreign Language, M.A. thesis, University of London |
Students of English as a Second Language (ESL) need help with phrasal verbs. |
|
Sroka, Kazimierz (1962), "Critique of the traditional syntactic approach to adverb / preposition words in Modern English", Bulletin de la société polonaise de linguistique, 21 |
A purely syntactic approach is incomplete. |
|
Hughes, M.N. (1966), "Phrasal and prepositional verbs", English Language Teaching Institute, London, Typescript |
Traditional classification scheme. |
|
Legum, St. E. (1968), "The verb-particle constructions in English: basic or derived?", in Darden-Bailey-Davison (eds.), Papers from the Fourth Regional Meeting of the Chicago Linguistic Society, pp. 50-62, Chicago |
Although composed of two or three words, phrasal verbs are basic verbs and irreducible in meaning. |
|
Sroka, Kazimierz (1972), The Syntax of English Phrasal Verbs, The Hague, Mouton |
Revised syntactic approach. |
|
Declerck, Renaat (1977), "Some arguments in favor of a generative semantics analysis of sentences with an adverbial particle or a prepositional phrase of goal", Orbis 26, 297-340 |
Is this title grammatical? I think not. I do like the concept of "generative semantics analysis", though. I would say "semantic". |
|
Brinton, Laurel J. (1981), Appendix: "Verb-particle combinations as aspectual periphrases", pp. 266-76, The Historical Development of Aspectual Periphrases in English, University Microfilms International, Ann Arbor, Michigan, U.S.A., 3058 (doctoral dissertation) |
Aspectual periphrases? Sounds wonderful. I imagine a fusion between direct and indirect speech, subjective and objective perception. Can this be? |
|
Brinton L. J., (1988), "Verb Particles in English: Aspect or Aktionsart?", Studia Linguistica, 39, 157-168 |
The verb is no longer an action but an accomplishment. |
|
Bacchielli, R. (1991), "A snapper-up of unconsidered trifles (The Winter’s Tale IV.III.26): Shakespeare’s language awareness and his ‘considered’ use of a peculiar lexical category", Early Modern English: Trends, Forms and Texts, Bari, Schena |
Phrasal verbs have always been an integrated part of English. Shakespeare put them to use in his works. |
|
Takami, K. (1992), Preposition Stranding. From Syntactic to Functional Analysis, The Hague, Mouton de Gruyter |
If a purely syntactic approach is limited, what to use? A functional approach - what task does the phrasal verb accomplish? |
|
